A novel and as yet unrecorded translocation, (1;2)(p34;p21-22), detected in a patient with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is reported. The leukemia--in this case, AML-M4--showed a rapidly progressive fatal course despite an early transient response to aggressive chemotherapy. In this patient, the leukemic cells showed a novel balanced translocation, (1;2)(p34;p21-22), in most of the metaphases at the time of diagnosis and during subsequent relapse. Interferon-inducible double-stranded RNA-dependent protein kinase (ds RNA-PK) is located in the chromosome region, 2p21-22, that was involved in the translocation in this case. The possible role of ds RNA-PK in leukemogenesis is briefly mentioned.

Beyond the more common TFE3 fusion partners PRCC, ASPSCR1, and SFPQ, additional less common fusion partners of TFE3-rearranged renal cell carcinoma (RCC) have been described. Herein, we present an example of TFE3-rearranged renal cell carcinoma harboring fusion partner MAPK1IP1L, a rare rearrangement with only one other reported tumor found in the literature. The currently reported TFE3-rearranged RCC demonstrates unique histological features compared to the previously reported tumor including dense eosinophilic cytoplasm and nuclear pseudoinclusions (corroborated by electron microscopic evaluation), with features not typically seen in other TFE3-rearranged RCCs.

Background: The inheritance of the short allele, encoding the serotonin transporter (SERT) in humans, increases susceptibility to neuropsychiatric and metabolic disorders, with aging and female sex further exacerbating these conditions. Both central and peripheral mechanisms of the compromised serotonin (5-HT) system play crucial roles in this context. Previous studies on SERT-deficient (Sert) mice, which model human SERT deficiency, have demonstrated emotional and metabolic disturbances, exacerbated by exposure to a high-fat Western diet (WD).
